Wonderful things to remember at this special time year of Thanksgiving and Gratitude.
Thankful for the things
That could be taken for granted
And yet are not so, for too many:
Shelter, food, warm clothing,
Clean water
Safety.
Thankful for the blessings I may not even notice
And yet are never empty:
Clean air, a language others understand,
Having a place
Where I am welcome
A bed to tuck myself into and rise from,
Soft covers,
Floor, a ceiling, sturdy walls.
Thankful for the senses that I have
And do not fail me:
Sight (and insight)
Hearing (and the ability to listen)
Smell (and being able to sniff out what is not right)
Taste (in food, and things, and people)
To be touched in kindness
And to touch others
In reassurance,
In compassion.
Thankful for the love in my life
For health and the ability to tend to it,
For knowing that I have a place to call home …
My heart breaks to know so many don’t.
Thankful…
